New Movie: Ruthless

Vengeance is a dish best served cold, and in Dermot Mulroney‘s case — in a ruthless manner. The trailer for the new revenge thriller, Ruthless has been released. Mulroney, best known for starring in the iconic Julia Roberts movie My Best Friend’s Wedding, will be taking up a more violent role in this project for what is a just cause. Mulroney plays a high school wrestling coach, Harry, who is left mourning the death of his daughter, who was murdered under mysterious circumstances.

The trailer kicks off with a harrowing tale of loss which helps to set the tone for what lies ahead. “Harry’s daughter was murdered four years ago. Some scumbag drugged her, raped her, and left her to die in a ditch,” one character explains to another as the clip begins. The opening exchange does, however, end with a note of hope, “I think he’s trying to keep that from happening to your daughter.” With every passing scene, we see Harry battle with his grief while feeling the urge to protect other victims of abuse. When he notices signs of abuse in one of his students he takes it upon himself to intervene with her father. As the trailer progresses, soon enough, Harry is drawn into a bigger case against a crew known for trafficking young women and the wrestling coach is simply not having it. He embarks on a solo vigilante journey, introducing his fists to the jaws of these human traffickers. Even when the long arm of the law seeks to dissuade him, he remains resolute.

With a runtime of 92 minutes, Mulroney’s new vigilante adventure is directed by stuntman and fight coordinator turned-director, Art Camacho. Rounding up the ensemble cast the film also stars Jeff FaheyMelissa DiazMauricio MendozaTonantzin Esparza, and Niko Foster. Camacho’s directing will be off a script penned by the director alongside James Dean SimingtonJavier ReynaKoji Steven Sakai.
